Fox in the Penalty Area

After Hu Lai scored, the first half ended quickly.

Leeds City entered the break with a goal lead at home.

After a 15-minute intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Leeds City did not make any substitution adjustments here, but Walderhampton coach Javier Tobera replaced a striker at half-time in an attempt to strengthen the attack.

Obviously he was very satisfied with the team's overall performance in the first half, and he didn't think that the conceded goal was caused by the difference in strength between the two teams. He prefers to think that Leeds City stole the penalty by cheating - when Hu Lai fell to the ground and the referee Craig blew his whistle, Tobera was furious on the sidelines and almost got a red card warning was directly sent to the stands.

But he hasn't changed his mind about it.

He thought that Hu Lai was a flop, and this penalty was unwarranted.

Since the team has the advantage on the field and Leeds City's lead is stolen, the situation is very simple. Of course, it is necessary to strengthen the offense and try to get the score back.

So he changed into a striker, strengthened his offense, and tried to turn the advantage on the scene into a victory.

But he may have misunderstood the strength gap between the two teams.

Not long after the start of the second half, Leeds City launched a fast break while Walder Hampton was concentrating on tying the score.

In the end, Kamara passed someone on the side and entered the penalty area, and then shot the far corner with his right foot.

The ball went around the hand of Walderhampton goalkeeper Rodrigo Martins and spun into the goal from the far end.

"Oooohoo!! Fantastic goal! From Ismail Kamara!!" cheered Matthew Cox. "This is a one-man battle, and Kamara has brought out his outstanding personal ability to the fullest! Kamara, who has experienced a season in the Premier League, is obviously much more mature than when he first arrived... This ball, poor Sean Luohan, he was knocked down by Kamara's sudden change of direction, he looked so embarrassed and embarrassed! Leeds City took a two-goal lead at the beginning of the second half!"

Excited after the goal, Kamara ran to the corner flag and performed a comical-looking dance to celebrate his first Premier League goal of the season.

This scene made Hu Lai, who was the first to rush up, slow down, obviously he didn't want to be stupid with Kamala...

He just stood at the far end, shrugged, and applauded Kamala's "dance."

He ran up after Kamala finished dancing and said to him, "What are you doing, Ismail? I dare not come up to celebrate with you, it's so stupid!"

Kamala didn't care, and laughed: "I did it on purpose!"

"deliberately?"

"It's a celebration I invented. Just like yours, I want it to be my signature celebration. Every time I score a goal, I do this dance. Make people happy!"

When Hu Lai heard his explanation, he couldn't help grinning: "Good guy, Ismail...you are really cute!"

Kamara frowned: "I think you're mocking me, Hu."

Hu Lai quickly shook his head: "No, no. You are right, football is to bring people joy, and the celebration should be the same! If you don't believe me, look, Ismail, the Leeds City fans in the stands are smiling so happily !"

He pointed to the stands, and Kamara looked over, and it was true.

Everyone was waving arms and fists at him, and everyone had big smiles on their faces.

Leading by two goals, still at home, the game entered the rhythm of Leeds City.

And Walderhampton's extremely aggressive tactics didn't work either.

After all, although Craig, the referee, has a loose law enforcement standard, it does not mean that he is blind.

When some balls can be judged or not, he can choose not to judge them. But if you do foul, he can't turn a blind eye.

As the game time went on, as the score was rewritten repeatedly, the mentality of the Walderhampton players gradually became unbalanced, and it was difficult for them to control the boundary between fouls and non-fouls.

As their number of fouls on the field increased, the referee Craig also began to play more cards amidst the boos at the Flanders Stadium. After all, he couldn't let it go. ...

When the referee tightened his own penalty standards, Walderhampton's set didn't work.

This time is simply a time to compare the paper strength of the two teams.

In this regard, there is obviously a gap between Walderhampton and the defending champion.

Coupled with the fact that Leeds City has already led by two goals, both the mentality of the Leeds City players and the morale of the Walderhampton players have changed.

Jay Adams scored another goal with a long-range shot in the 77th minute, completely smashing Walderhampton.

In the end, Leeds City won at home with a score of 3:0 and scored three points.

A good start to the new season.

This left those who were still criticizing Leeds City before the game speechless.

As said before, football is a sport that is judged by performance.

This means that when Leeds City performed well and won the game, the voice of criticism in the field of public opinion will disappear a lot.

Of course, not all of them will disappear. On the one hand, some people will always find black spots, and on the other hand, of course, the losing side is not convinced...

Javier Tobera slammed Houlai's fall in the post-match press conference for the penalty kick.

"Obviously, that's a dive! I know Hu is a good striker, he was the top scorer in the Premier League last season and the World Cup... He didn't have to do that at all. I'm sure he didn't need that Crooked things can also score goals. But unfortunately, he ended up choosing a lazy way...I don't like it..."

He shook his head at the end, as if he really felt sorry for Hu Lai.

Not long after the press conference, Hu Lai's official social media account forwarded a piece of news in response to Tobera's remarks:

"... in the just-concluded first round of the Premier League, Leeds City beat Walderhampton 3-0, Hou Lai's goal opened the door for the team to win... But in this game, Hou Lai But he became a special target for Walderhampton. He encountered eight violations in the game, and he is the player with the most fouls in a single game so far in the first round of the league..."

The above is the content of the news.

Hu Lai's social media account did not make any comments on this, but simply forwarded the news.

There is no need for him to speak, and naturally his fans will help him complete what he didn't finish:

"Fouled eight times in one game, changed into a clean jersey at halftime, and got dirty again...I don't think Hu who was so violated was a flop! Maybe Sparks justified that he was not strong. .But in the penalty area, it is not how much power you use that determines whether you foul, but whether your action is a foul! Obviously it is a foul! Because he not only hit, but also reached out and pushed!"

"Tobella is questioning the law enforcement ability of the Premier League referee? Craig is a famously gentle referee. He can make firm penalty kicks. It can be seen that Sparks' foul is undisputed. !"

"The English Football Association should severely punish this kind of remarks that wantonly evaluate the work of the referee! Otherwise, everyone can come to judge the referee, how can this game be blown?"

"I know Tobera is a good manager, he was one of the candidates for the best manager of the season in the Premier League last season... There is no need for him to use foul tactics against Leeds. I believe he does not need these tricks The same thing can win. But it is a pity that he finally chose such a way that is not aboveboard...and he hasn't won yet! Hahahaha!"

Everyone played around with Hu Lai's tweet.

Public opinion overwhelmingly supported Hu Lai, and did not think he was a flop.

After all, everyone can see how Hu Lai was treated in the game. Anyone who has watched the game will tend to sympathize with him. Against this background, even if Hu Lai's fall was slightly exaggerated, it would not be considered a flop.

After all, there are too many exaggerated falls in the penalty area, which have become the norm and are not worthy of criticism.

It was Tobera who described the obvious foul as Hu Lai's flop, which was even more annoying.

Now Hu Lai can be regarded as a well-known star, and his fans are countless. To deal with Tobella, there is really no need for Hu Lai to take action himself.

Then the Premier League announced an investigation into Tobera's remarks at the post-match press conference and punished them for possible problems.

The slow motion of Hu Lai's fall is being played on the TV, and the slow motion of Hu Lai's fall is replayed from different angles.

"...Then for this penalty, do you think Hu flopped or Sparks really fouled?"

After all the slow motion was played, the screen cut to the studio hall of "When the Season Is Going On". The host Bobby Klein turned to ask the two guests sitting opposite Hector Ingram and Peter Ne Elson.

"There is no doubt that it is a penalty kick. Sparks has an overhand push." ​​Ingram, the former Stan Park Rangers center back, raised his hand and made a move that Sparks had just made.

Nelson said: "Actually, the hand movements are not too obvious. I think the main reason why Hu couldn't stand was that Sparks didn't stop when he hit him, but hit him firmly... Hu's body, it is indeed difficult for him to stand in the penalty area after withstood such a collision. Of course, Hu fell too simply... But it is always Sparks who fouled first, any striker They would all fall cleanly to the ground in this situation..."

"So everyone's opinion is very consistent, this penalty is not controversial?" Klein asked again.

Ingram shrugged and shook his head: "I don't think there's any controversy."

Nelson analyzed: "Tobera has lost his composure... He may want to beat Leeds City too much, so he overreacts. After the end of last season, I have seen a lot of media linking him to Clark, To think he was able to lead Walderhampton to seventh was a big deal, almost like a second Tony Clark... Maybe it was the comparison that displeased him, so he held his breath and wanted to be there. Beat Leeds City to prove he's not another Tony Clarke..."

Ingram told him, "I totally agree with your analysis."

Nelson half-jokingly said, "That's not easy..."

Klein laughed: "Ha!"

The host and guests on the TV are making jokes.

Outside the TV, Archie Fataki watched this scene and said to Kamara with emotion: "Look at me, Ismail. Learn well, why no one thinks there is a problem with Hu this ball, but you When you fall on the court, everyone will call you for flopping..."

Kamara rolled his eyes at his agent: "Do you think you are so studious, Archie? You said that, the line between flopping and self-protection is very blurry, and there is no standard. Accurate handling requires extremely high talent. Although I really don't want to admit it, in this respect, I am indeed more talented than him..."

He paused for a while, then continued: "But I will continue to work hard to learn self-protection and get rid of the stigma of diving."

"Come on, Ismail, you can definitely do it!" Manager Archie Fataki cheered him on.

"Yeah!" Kamala nodded vigorously.
